Chapter 43: Making Friends
That day in Su Mansion, Ma Yu witnessed the vicious battle between Shi Ziling and Chen Zhongda, although Shi Ziling won strangely and dangerously, but he was at a disadvantage in the whole process, and did not show his absolute strength to overwhelm Chen Zhongda.
Later, Shi Ziling disappeared suddenly, it is said that he fell asleep in the Deyue Tower for seven days and seven nights, but after he woke up, he fought with Chen Zhongda again, Chen Zhongda was actually killed on the spot by Shi Ziling, and Shi Ziling did not appear to be asleep at all after the battle, and his spirit was better than before.
Ma Yu was puzzled by this, could it be that this Shiziling could also practice in his sleep? Can he still increase his skills? This Shiziling was born out of thin air, and he has defeated many famous masters one after another, according to the people of the Yu family, he still suffers from amnesia, why is there so many difficult mysteries on him?
Ma Yu coughed dryly, tapped the folding fan in his hand a few times, and said, "Brother Shi, you have a life-saving grace for me, so I shouldn't have many questions about you." It's just that...... It's just that a lot of what's going on in you is incomprehensible. ”
"For example, where did you come from, and who did you learn from? Why did you have such strong strength at such a young age? For example, why did you devote yourself to the Yu family? Also, when you fought with Chen Zhongda in Su Mansion, you were obviously at a disadvantage, how did you turn defeat into victory? Obviously you were mentally distressed when the battle ended that day, why did you insist on leaving Su Mansion?"
"After that, why did you sleep in a place like Deyue Tower for seven days and seven nights? And as soon as you woke up, why did you seem to have a great increase in your strength, not only killed Chen Zhongda, but also did not appear mentally distressed, but instead seemed to be full of energy, and your spirit was better than before?"
The Yu family people present on the side actually have similar questions in their hearts, and they also want to know the answer, but they have absolute trust in Shi Ziling, and since Shi Ziling does not talk about some things, they are not willing to ask, and they think that Shi Ziling has his own reason.
At this moment, seeing Ma Yu gushing out a lot of questions, everyone looked at Shi Ziling to see how he reacted.
Only Yu Wei stopped, he stood up and shouted: "Ma Gongzi, why do you have so many problems? Didn't we tell you that Ziling had amnesia last time? You also said that Ziling was your savior, why did you ask so many questions at once, and you clearly suspected that he was coming from the wrong way and had bad intentions, right?"
"Even a person who doesn't have amnesia can't answer so many of your questions at once, right? Besides, who doesn't have a secret, right?"
"I also have a lot of secrets, do you want to tell them all? Ma Gongzi, don't you have any secrets? If I ask you, will you tell me? Won't you?"
"Ziling, he has a little secret, don't you want to tell others, can't you?
Not only Ma Yu, but everyone present was dumbfounded. This Yu Wei actually replied to Ma Yu with such a lot of questions at once, and he actually made sense of everything. Especially the last sentence "Do you have to explain everything clearly before we can be his friends?"
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding why this Yu Wei's brain was so good today?
Ma Yu opened his mouth even more, shaking his head again and again at Yu Wei, a living treasure.
Shi Ziling was also taken aback by Yu Wei's sudden outpouring of eloquence, just as the so-called Shibei was impressed by the three days, I didn't expect this guy to be so able to speak.
However, Yu Wei's last sentence still touched Shi Ziling very much, knowing that Yu Wei had always regarded himself as a real friend and blurted it out like this.
Seeing that Ma Yu shook his head and sighed again and again, Shi Ziling couldn't help laughing, he stepped forward and patted Yu Wei's shoulder and motioned for him to go back and sit down.
Then he said to Ma Yu: "Ma Gongzi, I won't tell you, I can answer some of your questions, such as how I ran to Deyue Tower; some I am not convenient to say, such as why I have improved my skills after falling asleep, because this is related to my exclusive practice; and some of them actually I don't know the answer to the Dao, or I also want to know the answer to the Dao, such as where I come from, who I studied and so on. ”
"I can only say that I think I am a good person, and I have never been harmless, and I am willing to make friends with a gentleman like Ma Gongzi, do you believe it?"
Ma Yu silently stared at Shi Ziling's eyes, and after a long time, he bowed to the end, confusing Shi Ziling, why does this Ma Gongzi like to bow to himself so much?
Just as he was about to ask, Ma Yu said: "It is really my honor to be praised as a gentleman by Brother Shi. Brother Shi and I have only met for the third time, and Brother Shi can recognize that I am a gentleman and is willing to be friends with me, which shows that just like what Brother Yu said just now, between friends, the most important thing is sincerity, the most important thing is absolute trust, and nothing else matters. ”
"Brother Shi, I believe you, I have made up your good friend!"
Saying that, Ma Yu grabbed Shi Ziling's hand and shook it together.
Shi Ziling was ashamed in his heart, the reason why he decided that Ma Yu was a gentleman was mainly because of the unique skill of "Soul Dementor", he asked himself, if he didn't have absolute confidence in his own vision of seeing people, it was inevitable to inquire more about the details of the other party when making friends.
Yu Wei asked curiously, "Young Master Ma, don't you want to know the answers to so many questions now?"
"Yes, but since I have identified Brother Shi as a friend, there is no need to rush to know the answers to these questions. Anyway, what he can tell me, he will tell me sooner or later, and if he can't tell me, even if he says he leaked his mouth, I just don't hear it, haluhaha......" Ma Yulang laughed.
"Ha Luha, you're a bit of an interesting person, maybe we can be friends too. Yu Wei scratched his head and smiled.
Ma Yu Zhengse said: "Why do you need to 'maybe'? Since you are Brother Shi's friend, you are naturally my friend." As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Yu Wei's big hand, which made Yu Wei a little embarrassed, and everyone on the side didn't feel it.
After that, everyone discussed the matter of recommending Shi Ziling to participate in the candidacy for the post of deputy general. This time, there are three vacancies for lieutenant generals in Songhu City, and one of them will still be promoted and appointed in the original garrison.
The remaining two places will be recommended by the major families first, and after unified screening, they will be tested in the martial arts arena on the first day of the next month, and then the candidates will be determined by the lord of the castle guard and officially reported to the imperial court.
At present, there are still ten days before the first day of the next lunar month, but there are already many candidates who have signed up, among which there are many outstanding children of the families in the city, but the most noticeable thing is that the Tang family in the central part has also recommended candidates.
Among the five great families today, the Duanmu family dominates the east, and Songhu City is the range of their power, and no one will be surprised if the Duanmu family recommends someone to be the deputy general of Songhu City. However, the Tang family was located in the center of the Mingyue Continent, and although it was not as far away from Songhu City as the Xiahou family in the north or the Li Yuan family in the west, it was not too close.
Moreover, the Tang family has always been less concerned about the world in recent years, and compared with the other four major families who have recruited troops and expanded their strength, they seem relatively low-key, and I don't know why they are interested in the position of deputy general in Songhu City this time.
Ma Yu said: "I won't tell you anything, our Ma family has always had a close relationship with the Duanmu family, and my eldest sister married into the Duanmu family three years ago. Songhu City is the first important town in the east, and it is the heart of the Duanmu family. Although the position of deputy general is small, according to the law, we can control a part of the military power, so we are determined to win this time. ”
"Our plan is to recommend one person from the Duanmu family and one from the Ma family, and strive to win both of these places. And Brother Shi will be the candidate recommended by our Ma family. ”
"With his strength, it shouldn't be a problem to expect to win at the end. The candidate for the Duanmu family has not yet been decided, but I estimate that it will definitely be slightly weaker than Brother Shi. Therefore, we all hope that Brother Shi will defeat the more troublesome strong enemy and clear the way for the Duanmu family to win another place. ”
Yu Zhengtian asked, "The Duanmu family is one of the five great families, why don't you just send a first-class master to fight?"
Ma Yu sighed and said: "It is precisely because of being one of the five great families that it is inevitable that you will not be able to let go of your body." Although they value the position of deputy general, the masters who have been famous for a long time in the family feel that the position of deputy general is relatively lowly and are unwilling to fight. Therefore, the burden this time fell on Brother Shi. ”
Shi Ziling said with a smile: "It seems that only me, an unknown junior, is reluctant to make it difficult, I just hope that other families will also send a few people out casually like the Duanmu family, so that I will be relaxed." ”
Ma Yu nodded and said, "It would be nice if that was the case, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid things won't necessarily go so smoothly." For example, Chen Zhongda, the beast, should have been specially recalled by Chen Gongzhao, although he died, the Chen family might find someone to replace him. ”
"In addition, the Xiahou family's strength has gradually penetrated into the east in recent years, and it is unknown what kind of candidates they will send. Now the Tang family in the central part has joined in again, alas, I don't know if Li Yuan and Nangong Xia will also intervene in Songhu City. That is, Brother Shi, if you change others, we are not even sure that we will win a place. ”
Niu Zhengying asked in surprise: "Li Yuan and Nangong Xia, one is in the west and the other is in the south, and I haven't heard of any foundation in Songhu City, they recommend candidates to participate in the battle for the deputy general of Songhu City, it doesn't seem to be in line with the rules, will Lord Su agree?"
Ma Yu nodded and said: "It stands to reason that in the past, the major families recommended candidates should indeed follow the principle of proximity, but this time, the imperial court deliberately relaxed the relevant regulations in order to recruit talents. Not only Songhu City, but also all over the country, the new vacancies are not limited to regions, in order to make meritocracy, so that real talents have a little more chance to get ahead. ”
"It is the largest city in the east like Songhu City, and a small deputy general position, there will be so many families to compete. ”
